Schick
Digital Dental X-Ray Unit

Dr.
Anshu uses digital dental X-Rays to provide even better dental care
and more accurate diagnoses. The process of digitally capturing an
image is much faster, safer and more comfortable for the patient.

How Digital Dental X-Rays
Work

We place a small sensor
in your mouth. The sensor is connected to a computer by a thin wire.
Next, an X-ray beam is sent through your teeth and into the sensor,
which records the image of your teeth and sends it to the computer.
The sensor can then be repositioned to photograph other sections
of your teeth.

Why Digital Dental X-Rays
are Better

The digital dental X-ray
system is more sensitive than dental X-ray film systems, so your
exposure to X-rays is cut by as much as 90 percent. The large, color-enhanced
images let you see what your dentist sees, so it's easier for you
to understand how your dentist will treat your teeth. Your fees
don't include payment for photo chemicals, film, processing or film
storage. Used photo chemicals and film are not polluting the environment.
Your dental checkups take less time, and it's fun to watch this
system work! Most patients are amazed.

X-Ray Safety

Dental x-rays emit very low levels of radiation. To take your x-rays,
we use digital x-rays or radiography. In digital radiography, digital
sensors instead of photographic film record pictures of your teeth.
Your Advanced Dental Care Center team will use the latest in digital
technology when x-raying your teeth. Digital x-rays:

Are environmentally
friendly. Environmentally harmful chemicals needed to develop
film are not required.

Are less time-consuming
for you. The results are displayed on a computer screen. There
is no waiting for film to be developed.

Reduce your exposure
to radiation. Because digital sensors are better detectors of
radiation than film is, less radiation is required by digital
x-rays to capture the images.
